One Guard

Genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! On January 16, 2012, three hours before the start of the game, a large crowd gathered at the gate of the American Airlines Center arena. ?The stands of the stadium were already full. Before the players of the two teams appeared on the field, the fans had burst into cheers one after another. ??

Even sitting in the locker room with good sound insulation, Yiyang can still hear the shouts of the fans outside. Although he had already seen the real appearance of the championship ring yesterday, when Yi Yang really wanted to go on stage to receive the ring, he felt a little nervous instead.

? Yes, ? He felt a little bit of nervousness, everything he felt when he first landed on the NBA court a year ago came back. But the situation today is different from that day, this is actually just an ordinary regular season.

At this moment, the door of the Mavericks locker room was pushed open. Yiyang looked around. The Mavericks, from the players to the coaches, are all present. Who has the right to break into the locker room? Cuban?

However, when a guy in a suit and leather shoes appeared, most people in the locker room cheered immediately.

"How are you doing? Guys." Peja Stojakovic, the retired legendary shooter, was standing in the locker room, waving to his old teammates.

"Haha, Peja, I didn't expect you to come so soon!" Terry walked up and hugged Peja enthusiastically, followed by Nowitzki, Terry, Yiyang...

Although the lineup of the Mavericks has changed from last season, Peja still feels at home here. Everything is still the same, but I can no longer wear the Mavericks jersey.

"Also, your three-point shooting percentage has soared all the way this season. During the offseason, you must have worked hard!" After hugging everyone one by one, Peja patted Yiyang on the shoulder. praised it.

Sometimes, Peja actually envies Yiyang. I played in the league for 13 full years before finally getting the coveted championship ring in the last year of my career. The fly in the ointment is that Peja didn't get this ring with the Kings.

And what about Yiyang? This young guy has just started his career, and he has tasted things that many players may never taste in their entire lives.

For Peja and the others, it is very lucky to win a championship. Ke Yiyang, this guy must not be content with only having one championship ring!

"Let's go guys, let's catch up on the old days after the game is over. The temporary podium has been built, don't let the championship ring wait too long!" Carlisle waved his hand, interrupting the conversation between Peja and the crowd. conversation.

The players walked out of the locker room with smiles on their faces one by one. As soon as the soundproof door opened, overwhelming cheers rushed in. You know, Yiyang and the others are still in the player tunnel! When you walk out of the court, you won't burst your eardrums.

"This is crazy man, this is crazy." Nowitzki's voice trembled a little, he was nervous...or, he was excited. ?? At such a juncture, at such a critical moment of making history, he was as nervous and excited as a novice.

The championship ring, which is about to be worn on his hand, is the first championship ring in the history of the Mavericks team!

But soon, the German adjusted his breathing. He stood at the front of the team as usual, facing the exit of the player channel full of flashes, he waved his arm vigorously.

"It's our turn! Let's go!" Dirk yelled, and the defending champions filed out from the player tunnel!

The cheers rose an octave as the players rushed onto the pitch. Cuban stood on the temporary podium in the center of the court and applauded the players. On the podium, the golden O'Brien Cup was moved out again. And next to the O'Brien Cup, there is an exquisite red wooden box.

Inside the box are beautiful championship rings!

"The Mavericks' championship ring awarding ceremony is finally here!" Mike Brin's shout was quickly drowned out by the fans at the scene. The people of Dallas have waited long enough for this moment of honor. that's it.

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban personally acted as the host of today's championship ring presentation ceremony. In the middle of the court, the spotlight illuminated the podium. Next to the podium, Cuban was full of excitement. Under his introduction, Dirk Nowitzki, the MVP of last season's finals and the most important soul of the Mavericks, took the lead on the podium.

Neither Cuban nor Nowitzki talked nonsense, because the fans were obviously more anxious than them. After apprehensively taking over the championship ring from Cuban, Dirk lowered his head slightly and kissed the cold diamond ring lightly. The surface of the diamond ring is cold, but Nowitzki's heart is very hot!

After that, Dirk raised the ring high, showing the fans this symbol of supreme honor. The camera gave a close-up of the ring on Dirk's hand. Although the production time of the ring was very tight this time, the workmanship was still fine.

Diamonds spell out a Mavericks team logo on the front of the ring, and the words "world champion" are also spelled out with diamonds on the upper and lower sides of the ring. On the side of the ring, the O'Brien Cup is engraved on one side, and the player's name and number are engraved on the other.

In fact, not only the Mavericks' heroes and celebrities attended the ceremony today. On the sidelines, Odom's all-American wife Khloe Kardashian was also sitting. Sitting with Khloe were her two sisters, Kim Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian. Tonight is also the first time that the three Kardashian sisters have all appeared in the American Airlines Center Arena.

Looking at the ring on Nowitzki's hand, the three Kardashian sisters almost couldn't help drooling. Americans have a joke that in any arena, as long as there is a diamond ring worth a million dollars, the Kardashian sisters can find it. But not tonight, the Kardashians don't want to continue to be deflated on the Mavericks.

"When can you give me yours?" Looking at the dazzling diamond ring in Nowitzki's hand, Kohler came up with the idea of ​​Odom's two championship rings.

But this time, Odom ignored Kardashian's unreasonable request. Those two championship rings won by the Lakers are the best memories of Odom's life and the most precious wealth in his life. He can give Kardashian everything, except those two championship rings.

Looking at the Mavericks players receiving their rings on the court, Odom couldn't help turning his head to look at the Lakers players on the bench on the other side of the court. He really hopes that he never left...

Subsequently, the heroes who followed the team to win the championship last season came to the stage to receive the awards one by one. When Yiyang came on stage, what Cuban introduced to the fans was: "The greatest point guard in the NBA in the future!"

For such praise, Mavericks fans feel no exaggeration. This young guard from China has already conquered the hearts of Dallas fans. In their view, this Dallas Mavericks will sooner or later become Yiyang's Dallas Mavericks. No, maybe now, it is already Yiyang's team.

The last person to come to the stage to receive the ring was dressed differently from all the previous ones. Peja Stojakovic has taken off his jersey and turned into a gentleman in a suit and leather shoes. At this time, he is no longer a player, but has begun to go to the management of each team.

But even so, it still can't stop people's love for Peja. After Peja took over the championship ring, he picked up the microphone and said something deeply. "My dream has come true in Dallas!"

In the end, Cuban unexpectedly gave an unsigned championship ring to a black security guard in the American Airlines Center arena.

Under normal circumstances, championship rings are mainly awarded to head coaches, assistant coaches, team general managers and key players. And some fringe players, coaching staff members, team doctors and other roles get unsigned championship rings. It is the first time in NBA history that a championship ring can be awarded to a stadium security guard.

Because stadium security isn't strictly a part of the Mavericks, they're responsible for the American Airlines Center, not just for the Mavericks like other roles. If an ice hockey game is held in the American Airlines Center arena today, the security guards will also have to go to work to serve the ice hockey team.

But this lucky security guard Andre Menzies has worked in the American Airlines Center Arena for many years, and he is also familiar with Cuban. At the end of the regular season last year, Menzies and Cuban sat on the bench and chatted for a while. At that time, no one was optimistic that the Mavericks would win the championship, but Menzies patted Cuban on the shoulder sincerely and said. "Don't worry guys, you guys will definitely win the championship!"

"If we can win the championship, I will give you a championship ring!" At that time, Cuban responded to Menzies with a smile. Menzies always thought that Cuban was joking with himself, but he didn't know that today, the championship ring was really worn on his hand.

The black security guard, who was already in his fifties, was so excited that he burst into tears after taking the stage. Cuban's human touch once again shocked the entire league. A million-dollar ring given to a stadium security just because of a joke promise. This move undoubtedly gave fans and players another reason to love this team.

After the tearful Uncle Security came off the field, the short-lived championship ring awarding ceremony came to an end. As for those players who have joined other teams, Cuban will send the rings later. And for players like Carter who are currently in the Mavericks but have not yet won a championship, they are full of expectations for their Mavericks career.

The lights of the audience were turned on again, and the players who had won the championship ring walked to the court under the worship of the fans.

As soon as the lights came on, the Lakers players immediately warmed up under the leadership of Kobe. They were already getting a little impatient, and now, Kobe just wanted to blow up the whole place!

"Haha, Kobe Bryant really didn't give the Mavericks face at all. Before the podium was dismantled, Kobe took the Lakers to warm up. We saw Lamar Odom ran to the Lakers. Hugging Kobe at halftime, maybe that guy wished he was warming up with the Lakers now." Seeing this scene, Mike Breen's sense of anticipation soared.

Although the championship ring presentation ceremony just now was very brief, the atmosphere was cheerful and touching enough. So now, will you destroy all of this with your own hands?

Kobe Bryant, you are a cold-blooded man.
